Ill. R. Cir. Ct. McHenry Cnty. 7.02
As amended through September 23, 2024
If a defendant who has been duly served with summons fails to appear on or before the day and time designated as the return day, the court may take the allegations in the complaint as admitted by said defendant and upon motion and without notice enter a judgment by default against defendant for the amount claimed plus court costs. Such judgment may be entered on the return day or any time thereafter. Also, the court may, in its discretion, require the presentation of evidence and set the case down for "prove up."
